I have created this blog to share my 'doings' with others. Now that I am retired I am able to do all the things I never had the time for. I hope you enjoy my endeavours.

TAST Week 34

Week 34 - Linked Double

Linked Double stitch was the stitch challenge for Week 34. There were not a lot of resources out there to help with this particular one as it is a combination of a chain and twisted chain stitch - so I am not even sure I was able to complete this stitch completely - but it "looks" similar to others. . .

Sharon at TAST 2012 states "this is a marvellous stitch as it will follow a curve well and lends itself to all sorts of interesting experimentation. You can widen the chain stitches and play with spacing. It looks particularly effective if you use a thread with a firm twist. Silk ribbon also works well with this stitch. It lends itself to being embellished with beads too".
